Pierce Nichody theory which requires too many steps, but is closer related to the actual character (because surgeons are *simply* precise, not overly precise on non-important details):Pierce → As in a surgeon has to pierce the skin to start working.Nichody → Nichodemus, a biblical figure who met with Jesus, who talked about how Moses made the Nehushtan, a variant on the Rod of Asclepius symbol (symbol of healing and medicine).

...Is it me or is there a lot more references to Jesus in this game? Granted, not so much in the Jap ver, but there is some room to argue for the claim.

I only really remember seeing that in Pees'lubn's design. I don't know what other reference you'd be talking about.

If you need a defense attorney, come talk to me! I just...can't take any cases that are in real life...it has to be on Miiverse. But I'm a justice-seeking warrior who wins every time, like Mr. Fine over there! Well, as long as you're not guilty. In Justice We Trust!

Me neither, but I never saw that one as being very obvious either. (Not Pierce Nichody's either, but that's beating a dead horse at this point) With Atishon's I kinda suspected the answer would make me wanna facepalm for not getting it, but it was even worse than I thought. (With people comparing the nature of his pun with Atmey's, the closest I could think of was "Pay Attention", but that felt too far-fetched)

My problem was that I pronounced "Athison" with a similar intonation as "Atkinson", and then you don't really hear the Politician anymore

Sorry for being a necro but I had to ask, was I the only one who thought Sprocket was a play on "rocket", and not the actual device entitled "sprocket"?

Nope. Until you said it just now, I didn't know a sprocket was a thing and thought it was just based on rocket. I did think it was a bit strange his name was based on rocket, since it technically has nothing to do with his line of work

Added the explanation for the name Nayuta that Yamazaki revealed in this interview: it's simply the name of someone he knew from university. It was intended as nothing more but a placeholder name, but Eshiro liked it so much he didn't allow Yamazaki to change it anymore.

I'm not sure what's more surprising- the fact that someone irl actually had that cool name or the fact that Yamazaki intended it as a mere placeholder.
